Hi guys, I've heard some conflicting information about the max length of a Type 2 cable.

Are there multiple factors at play?
We got a local company here that does up to 15m cables:

Would you guys say that these could be used without any issues or are there any caveats for use of >10m cables?

The main takeaway for me was there’s no issues but at 10m (the longest I could find) the weight of the cable becomes an issue and may pull the wall box away from the wall. At 15m I imagine that’s a large weight.
Good point!
10m would be enough but I thought "why not have the bit extra".

It seems the 15m is 5kg while the 10m they offer is 4kg. That is quite some heft indeed smile.
